The Pinnacle of Classic Space LEGO — “The LL928 "Explorer" starship is the stuff of LEGO legend, and while many love it just for its nostalgic value. When completed, the set looks great. The ship is a little blocky by today's standards, but still sleek enough, and the moonbase is well done despite its small... More size. The famed baseplates are just as awesome as I expected, and it all just works.”

“Overall, I think this is an amazing set! No matter how old this set feels, it is a timeless set that will never look old in any collection. The set is simple yet very appealing, the ship looks really nice and picking it up makes me want to just fly it around! The ship... More doesn't need any fancy shmancy flick fire or spring misses, it doesn't need to be complex to be fun or appealing to the eye. The simplicity is what makes this set unique.”
